Made it, having a wee rest before dinner out tonight.
Hot and dusty here in ADL, lets hope it all settles down

Hope that bag has been tested and able to withstand the rigors the QF baggage handlers will throw (pun intended) at it.

Did warm up mini-tour with +1 today in the Barossa, managed to visit six cellar doors we haven’t been to yet.
Back to Adelide tomorrow for the main event on Sunday.

It has been filled and flown many many times without any problems. Inserts have been replaced three times.

Headed to the Taste of Australia event opposite the Hilton in ADL. More food and wine

Back to the big smoke after breakfast at Barossa farmers market and one last cellar door visit. Was great little trip, can’t way to go back tomorrow

I'm glad it's a much more pleasant weekend in Adelaide for the visitors - the last two days were not pleasant

I loved the Schild Estate cellar door experience and left with an an almost full bottle of wine as a gift - only had my tasting pour out of it - but not many of their wines appealed to me

Not the @JessicaTam fancy suite but still a nice little upgrade at the Adelaide AFF hotel.



With views to Tasting Australia festival.



And the QF magazine on the table.



Now it really feels like home to me...

Two Hands is one of favourites. My dad had the one teacher school at Maranaga (just before you turn off to Two Hands). I lived in the house next door to the school from 1962 until 1965 and went to Gnadenfrei Lutheran Church Sunday school just up the road.

I did mention it some post's back but thought another reminder in order.
Don't forget to wind your clock BACK by one hour - daylight saving time finishes this weekend.
I just wound my alarm back now so I don't forget when I get home from the do tonight.

Fantastic taste experience, very civilised.
Out of their wine range I was most impressed with the Cab Shiraz blend (their first ever vintage).

They have some nice wines but I didn’t like how they kept trying to push us to sign up for their mailing list. We came for wine tasting not the Turkish bazaar experience.

We were here in Jan to visit the Scouting Jamboree at Tailem Bend - the Hilton air con feels positively freezing at 22C this time! It was struggling so much in Jan!
